Muktesar Man-Eater by Jim Corbett | Audiobook (English)

Colonel Jim Corbett was still fairly young and inexperienced when he was called upon to go after the Muktesar Man-Eater.
The small town of Muktesar (now the hill resort town of Mukteshwar) in the Kumaon region of the Himalayan foothills of India situated in the modern-day state of Uttarakhand and in the beautiful and well-wooded Ramgarh Valley, was the setting in the year 1910 when a wounded tigress develops a taste for human flesh.
Corbett writes with great skill, building up the atmosphere with a sense of dread, and what follows is a fast-paced and gripping work of narrative non-fiction that transports you smack dab in the middle of the action, more than a hundred years ago.
This narration is dedicated to the loving memory of Mr. Andre Leon Ducasse of St. Joseph's College, Prayagraj (1963-2017), an exemplary academic who memorably read this story aloud to us one fine day in 6th grade.

My mother was the librarian for the small library in a little town in Southwest Kansas in the United States. I grew up reading virtually every book in the library. The writings of Jim Corbett were high up on my list. I'm retired now, and legally blind. It is very nice for me to hear these stories again. It's not quite like being a boy dreaming of adventures, but it's very nice. Thank you.

Loved it and thank you. Reads like a thriller. Except it really happened. I liked how Corbett mostly hunted with a good purpose and never glorified hunting as an exercise in slaughter.

Mr Singhs narration blows other narrator's of similar stories out of the water, there's no comparison 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It’s amazing that after so many close calls, Kenneth Anderson and Jim Corbett managed to survive!

Just amazing brother!!! Loved it!!! And Thanks for posting this, I wanted this from such a long time, this is perfect 😊😊😊😊

I have read all of Jim Corbett's books over and over since I was 10 years old. It's nice to finally learn how to correctly pronounce the names and places where these stories take place.

I went to boarding school in Nainital in the 1950s. In those days all the teachers were still British, except for the sanskrit and sitar teachers. Jim Corbett was still alive in those days and a living legend, a hero to us schoolboys. We were spellbound as the teacher read to us the Maneaters of Kumaon. In about October the weather used to change and we could see the snow on the high peaks, including the Nanga Parbhat. In 1959 there was a sudden influx of Tibetans, we learnt later that this was due to the Chinese invasion of Tibet. At night we could hear jungle animals, there were still plenty in those days. It is mindboggling to see how the world has changed for the worse, indeed it has gone mad, at least in the west. Ah for those tranquil bygone days. Thanks for this podcast, brings back so many memories.

Beautiful, best weather. If you can avoid the man eating tiger its paradise.

[JoyousNightjar]

Felt like I went back to school days. Reading was my hobby and had read all these stories. Thanks.

[kadenmoore]

I ❤ these stories.
Because I lived in those hills .
Abbott mount to be exact.
My first book that I read was the man eating leopard of rudrapryag, , a fantastic read .
All these old stories should be kept alive. More interesting if turned into a series of films.

Thanks for the upload and hope to continue to enjoy more such stories.
Also I'd like to say that a distance relative of mine, his grandparents knew Jim Corbett personally. These folks had owned properties up in Abbott mount. Which still stands today.

Very well done! Made easy to visualize actually sitting with Mr Corbett during his hunt for the tigress.

[zabienking]

[sumadharamadhavan]

Addicted to ur voice, feelis like it's narrated by Sir Corbett by himself

[srgmpdhns]

Kept me glued to my chair. Please add some photos of that general area, if possible.

[caitlinkrueger]

[thesylvanshadow]
